Youssef Khater was born in Lebanon on March 19, 1978. Khater and his family moved to Denmark when he was just 11 years old.
By the age of 18, Khater had already started serving in the Royal Danish Navy.
However, 10 years later, due to his fraudulent behavior, he was dishonorably discharged from the Navy.
Then, in 2009, he was arrested in Denmark for fraud, arson, embezzlement, and forgery, but he failed to appear for trial in January 2011.
Youssef Khater Was Arrested In Chile
For decades, Khater kept on scamming people from South America and Denmark.
In 2011, he was staying at a 12-bedroom hostel in Chile. He lied to all of his housemates, saying he was sponsored by Federacion Palestina de Chile to run 2,653 miles.
While living in Chile, he invited a Texas native, Callie Quinn, to rent his new condominiums.
And the truth was he had never bought any condos.
Then, he invited Quinn for dinner and lured her to the tire shop, where he tried killing Quinn by hitting her in the head by the toilet seat.
Fortunately, Quinn survived and filed a police complaint.
After the investigations, it was revealed that Khater had promised his previous lenders that he would give Callie cash to pay off his debt.
But that wasn’t the case; he only wanted to fool the creditor by killing Quinn.
During the investigation, police also learned that Khater had lied to his friends, saying he had left the country.
Later, when he was finally caught by the authorities, he confessed to hitting Callie. He further added that he never had an intention to take her life.
After the confession, the judge found him guilty of attempted murder. He had to serve around 600 days in jail.
During his time in prison, his inmates described him as one of the most disciplined people. He woke up at 6 a.m. and never complained about anything.
What Happened After Youssef Khater’s Time In Jail?
After his release, he was immediately deported to Denmark to face the additional charges.
Then, he started portraying himself as a Palestinian marathon runner.
His portrayal was so great that he managed to fool some local leaders into sponsoring his trip to Brazil.
After some time, he was again spotted in Costa Rica, where he portrayed a fake persona of Josef Maria.
But that wasn’t the end of his scamming days, as news of him scamming the Canadian woman for $18,000 circulated throughout the Internet after some time.
It was rumored that he had tried to kill her as well, but at the last moment, decided to spare her life.
The list of crimes he committed goes on and on. Due to his dangers, his family started cutting ties with him.
Then, in 2022, when he was spotted in Denmark, a local newspaper issued a warning to be safe.
